[Football] Would you be happy if

[greyseagull]

I've got no idea as to what's f***ing going on anymore

 

[casbom]

Marginally happier than if it was Frank Lampard.

But, no.

Who did you want instead? Genuine question

 

[LamieRobertson]

Doesn’t matter what i think .....whoever gets appointed i will support as its B&HA

 

[father_and_son]

Graham Potter is manager of Brighton & Hove Albion by the end of the day?

So much happier if we announced it was Rafa.
So much sadder if we announced it was Frank.

Maybe just meh then.

That's where I'm at. None of the other names I've seen are that inspiring with the exception of Arteta and there's no chance of that happening.

But, having read that Guardian article that was posted on here yesterday I got the impression that it would take a huge effort to prize him out of Swansea

I used to have to go to Swansea on work, i couldn't wait to get out of there!

 

[father_and_son]

Can you imagine if that happened? We would have the longest name EVER in English football :

Frank Lampard’s Brighton and Hove Albion - 34 letters!!

And Derby could become Graham Potter's Frank Lampard's Derby County.

I'd want us to take a bit longer so the interview process has been rigorous and any incoming manager will have had time to properly work on and present their plan on how they'll best use the squad (current and anticipated).

 

[GT49er]

If it turns out we've sacked CH in order to get Potter in, and he decides to stick with Swansea, are we not going to be looking a bit silly?

 

[Bwian]

Yes, but not entirely without reservations. I'd be happy that we've made a quick appointment and that we haven't gone for one of the usual dull suspects but rather for an exciting prospect who likes an attacking, passing style (not unlike Eddie Howe), and excited to see what he could get out of our better players and what he'd look to bring in. The reservations are the obvious ones about lack of experience at this level.

Maybe lack of experience at this level could work for him? Hughton's PL experience(s) may have worked against him, making him even more cautious than he was at Norwich? In The Championship we played fearless football most of the time. We never saw much fearless football as soon as we arrived in the PL.

If it happens that Potter is our new manager or head coach then he has my support. Just as Hughton did when he was made manager. I wasn't happy at all when he got the job but supported him, as I believe all Albion fans did.

It's the start of a new era and I am actually looking forward to next season now.

So many poles

Why the rush? Season ended 36 hours ago.

 

[Seasider78]

There were a few raised eyebrows when hughton was appointed followed by an influx of Norwich fans spreading the doom so like all managers I would trust the clubs judgement and make my own opinion when the new guy and his team take to the field next season

 

[TSB]

Who did you want instead? Genuine question

Chris Hughton.

Failing that, Dean Smith or Gary Monk as both have done good jobs consistently in the league below.

 

[Cozzy]

Not the big known name manager you might expect but then lets not get on that merry management go around (Mark Hughes in the news today saying he is ready to get back into management) and lets pass on all the has beens that always get a mention.

While mostly unknown Potter maybe just what the club needs , a fresh approach from someone who has learnt his trade abroad and with some success at European competitions as well as domestic. He may not have set the championship on fire but baring in mind what he had to work with he has not done a bad job.

Taking all that into consideration , happy yes , excited & inspired not at the moment but maybe after a few games in charge.

View attachment 109572 it's like Bloom owning an unraced maiden racehorse, then lumping £100m on it to win

Surely that would suggest Bloom knew something about said racehorse that we were overlooking

 

[pb21]

On paper he sounds OK, TBH I hadn't heard of him until the past couple of days. I don't know whether to be happy or not if he comes. On that basis went for 'meh'.

Not sure who I would realistically be happy with though!

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Will we see you at the Amex next season?

There is a much bigger chance, just awaiting the apologies from MR B to seal the deal.

It really would be gain my respect for him and everyone can make a mistake, I was a couple of days late and he backed the wrong horse.

Who knows this could be the time to make up.

 

[Withdean11]

I he's the man that Bloom/Ashworth want, then yes.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes - there is a lot of good stuff written about him, and the transfer window opens on Thursday - and there is work to be done.

 

[Two Professors]

But they are let the new manager unlock their qualities.

Need to be Harry Potter,not Graham.

 

[martin tyler]

Wouldn’t be adverse to the idea. Swansea have improved as the season went on and he seems to be able to get a lot from the attacking players at his disposal. The list isn’t exactly exciting and bar Arteta who hasn’t even managed a club but is assumed to be up to it those linked don’t exactly fill you with great excitement. Personally I do t think we need a big name just someone who can utilise our defensive strength but who can also get the most out of players link March when going forward.
He got a lot of it of McBernie and James who are both young and I expect he could do the same with some of our attacking players.
